"45"
Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
Keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
[Chorus:]
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have
changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one
else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
[Chorus]
Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believe
I believe
[Chorus]
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another
lifeThere's no real reason to accept the way things
have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
45
Staring down the barrel of a 45

"Adrenaline"
[Verse 1:]
Give me the wheel, so we can move a little faster
I make it real, I'm not a glorious disaster
What part of living says you gotta die?
I plan on burning through another nine lives
One more for measure, that's ten for the soul
That never sleeps, so are you ready to go?
[Chorus:]
Bloodshot against the clear blue sky!
Tick tock, I think the well is running dry!
My my!
I can't lie!
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
Dead scared 'cause I'm fearless in the head!
Bang! Bang! 'Cause the needle's in the red!
My my!
I can't lie!
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
My my!
My sweet adrenaline!
[Verse 2:]
Crack in the vision, who said the motivation's all
wrong?
Not your decision, the detonation of a time bomb
Which way is up, when your high is low?
It's time to find it are you ready to go?
[Chorus:]
Bloodshot against the clear blue sky!
Tick tock, I think the well is running dry!
My my!
I can't lie!
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
Dead scared 'cause I'm fearless in the head!
Bang! Bang! 'Cause the needle's in the red!
My my!
I can't lie!I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline!
My my!
My sweet adrenaline!
[Bridge:]
My my, I just can't lie,
It's the speed and the sound that I'm dying to try
My my, I just can't lie,
It's the love of the chase that created the ride!
[Chorus:] Bloodshot against the clear blue sky!
Tick tock, I think the well is running dry!
My my! (My my!)
I can't lie! (Can't lie!)
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
Dead scared 'cause I'm fearless in the head!
Bang! Bang! 'Cause the needle's in the red!

"Amaryllis"
In a while now I will feel better
I’ll face the weather before me
In a while now I’ll race the irony
And buy back each word of my eulogy
All the uninvited tragedies
Step outside
Ask yourself now
Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the moment you can’t forget
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom
Stay a while now
Undress your colors
Cause they’re like no othersI’ve ever seen
I could get used to your company
Step inside
Ask yourself now
Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the motions you can’t resist
So do I remind you ofSomeone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
In a while now
I will feel better
I will be better
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me
Cause I wanna know you

"Black Cadillac"
I got a mind full of aggravation
I can take it if I just relax
I say a prayer for the motivation
Keep me solid so I stay on track
But there’s a monkey on my back
And it don’t know how to act
Got me climbin’ up and down the walls Now I gotta make a choice
Maybe then I can rejoice
‘Cause I'm sick of all the same withdrawals
I got a mind full of inspiration
And I ain't livin’ in the past no more
So feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Pay the price
Gotta roll those dice
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
From a long, black Cadillac (Cadillac)
I hear the sirens of redemption
Screamin’ out like never before
And there's a roadblock in every direction
But I ain't stoppin’ ‘cause I'm in control
And there’s a monkey on my backSo I gotta set a trap
‘Cause I'm sick of all the same withdrawals
I got a mind full of inspiration
And I ain't livin’ in the past no more
So feast your eyes
On the big, blue sky
And wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Pay the price
Gotta roll those diceAnd wave bye bye
From a long, black Cadillac
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac
In a long, black Cadillac
I ain’t living in the past no more
I ain’t living in the past no more
Screaming out like never before

"Breaking Inside"
I caught a chill
and it's still frozen on my skin
I think about why
I'm alone, by myself
No one else to explain
how far do I go?
No one knowsIf the end is so much better, why don't we just live
forever?
Don't tell me I'm the last one in line
Don't tell me I'm too late this time
[Chorus]
I don't want to live
To waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made
Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't want to fall and say I lost it all
'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside
Out here, nothings clear
Except the moment I decided to move on and I
ignited
Disappear into the fear
You know there ain't no comin' back
When you're still carrying the pastYou can't erase, separate
Cigarette in my hand,
Hope you all understand
I won't be the last one in line
I finally figured out what's mine
[Chorus]
I don't want to live
To waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't want to fall and say I lost it all
'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside
I won't be the last one in line,
I finally figured out what's mine
[Chorus]
I don't want to live
To waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made
'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't want to fall and say I lost it all
'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside
And I feel like I'm breaking,

[Intro]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
[Verse 1]
It’s 8 A.M. This hell I’m in
Seems I’ve crossed the line again
For being nothing more than who I am
So break my bones
And throw your stones
We all know that life ain’t fair
But there is more of us
We’re everywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t have to take this
Back against the wall
We don’t have to take this
We can end it all
[Chorus]
All you’ll ever be
Is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke
While they hang another ropeSo lonely
Push him to the dirt
‘Til the words don’t hurt
Can you hear me?
No ones gonna cry
On the very day you die
You’re a bully
Hey!
Hey!
[Verse 2]
Think it through
You can’t undo
Whenever I see black and blue
I feel the past
I share the bruise
With everyone
Who’s come and gone
My head is clear
My voice is strong Now I’m right here to right the wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t have to take this
Back against the wall
We don’t have to take this
We can end it all
[Chorus]
All you’ll ever be
Is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke
While they hang another rope
So lonely
Push him to the dirt
‘Til the words don’t hurt
Can you hear me?
No ones gonna cry
On the very day you die
You’re a bully

It’s 8 A.M.!
The Hell I’m in!
Your voice is strong!
Now right the wrong!

All you’ll ever be
Is a faded memory of a bully.Make another joke
While they hang another rope
So lonely.
Push him to the dirt
‘Til the words don’t hurt

"Call Me"
Wrap me in a bolt of lightning
Send me on my way still smiling
Maybe that's the way I should go,
Straight into the mouth of the unknown
I left the spare key on the table
Never really thought I'd be able to say
I merely visit on the weekendsI lost my whole life and a dear friend
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, nevermind
God knows I've tried
[Chorus]
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way
I finally put it all together,
But nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine,
I had to say goodbye for the last time
I kept my whole life in suitcase,
Never really stayed in one place
Maybe that's the way it should be,You know I live my life like a gypsy
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, nevermind
God knows I've tried
[Chorus]
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worstTell me it's over I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way
I'll always keep you inside, you healed my
Heart and my life... And you know I try.
[Chorus]
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurtIt's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way
So, I'll be on my way

Not pass-aggressive
I got my finger on my pulse, staring straight into a

I got a way of making noise, the power to destroy
with no static
Cause victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell

Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Cause agony brings no rewardFor one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord

You gotta feel courage
Embrace possession
If it was easier to shatter everything that evermattered
But it's not, because it's your obsession
Be a fighter, backbone, desire
Complicated and it stings, but we both know what
it means
And it's time to get real and inspired
Cause victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to
ten, just count to ten
I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist

I could stand behind my barricade
Do what I'm told and be afraid to change
While isolated by the mainstream
With the current up against me
Well maybe if my arms were ten feet tall
I could finally reach that crystal ball
‘Cause I still find inside
There's something braver
And I, I won't be, I won't be
The silent damnation
I will never be voiceless
My weapon of choice is
I'd rather be dangerous
I won't be left defenseless
As God as my witness
I'd rather be dangerous
Dangerous
I'm not making conversation
But I'll state my observations
Well I could buy my faith like a plot in the ground
But I was never lost and I never had a doubt
‘Cause I still find It's not my imagination

I'd rather be dangerous
I won't be left defenseless

All alone I pierce the chain
And on and on the sting remains
And dying eyes consume me now
The voice inside screams out loud

I am focused on what I am after
The key to the next open chapter
Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky
Long live that day that I decided to fly from the

Every day a new deception
Pick your scene and take direction
And on and on I search to connect
But I don't wear a mask and I have no regrets
I am focused on what I am after
The key to the next open chapter

I can't escape the pain
I can't control the rage

I'm not for what's wrong

And all my doubt is a staircase for you
Opened out of this maze
The first step is the one you believe inThe second one might be profound.

You can have the money and the world
The angels and the pearls
Even trademark the color blue
Just like the tower we never built
In the shadow of all the guilt
When the other hand was pointed at you
Yeah the first step is the one you believe in
And the second one might be profound.

I'll follow you down, through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.

...to where forever lies
Without a doubt I'm on your side
There's nowhere else that I would rather beI'm not about to compromise,
Give you up to say goodbye
I'll guide you through the deep
I'll keep you close to me!

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.

Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
All messed up
And slightly twisted
Am I sick or am I gifted
Paper airplanesOpen window
Here today
And gone tomorrow
[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mindAre you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
Woh
I don't care if you apologize
I can't lie
Woh
I can't lie
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

"Miracle"
[Verse 1]
Say it once, tell me twice
Are you certain I’m alright?
Just a sign, to remind me
That tomorrow’s worth the fight
Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive
So make a wish, and say…
Give me life, give me love
Scarlet angel from above
Not so low, not so high
Keep it perfectly disguised
[Pre-Chorus]
Every changing the storyline that keeps me alive
My Mona Lisa’s making me smile
Right before my eyes!
[Chorus]
Take another look
Take a look around
It’s you and me
It’s here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I’ll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I’ve always believed
You are…
The miracle in me
[Verse 2]
Show me faith, like you do
I’m amazed at how you move
Side to side, front to back
You know how to make it last
[Pre-Chorus]
Ever changing the storyline that keeps us alive
My Mona Lisa’s making me smile
Right before my eyes!
[Chorus]
Take another look
Take a look around
It’s you and me
It’s here and now
As you sparkle in the skyI’ll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am
I just want you to see
What I’ve always believed
You are…
The miracle in me
[Bridge]
These are the moments you can’t pass back
Let’s turn the water to wine
One more time!
[Repeat Chorus]
The miracle in me
You’re the miracle in me

"My Name (Wearing Me Out)"
[Verse 1]
My name is worthless like you told me I once was
My name is empty cause you drained away the
love
My name is searching since you stole my only
soul
My name is hatred and the reasons we both know
Worthless, empty, searching, hatred
Well who am I right now?
[Chorus]
You’re fuckin’ wearing me out!
You’re always dragging me down!
You’re the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don’t need a gun to take back what’s mine
It’s over
It’s over now
You’re done wearing me out
[Verse 2]
My name is screaming like the sound of your
heart failing
My name is loco like the motive that betrayed me
Screaming, loco, don’t say you know
Who I am right now
[Chorus]
You’re fuckin’ wearing me out!
You’re always dragging me down!
You’re the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don’t need a gun to take back what’s mine
It’s over
It’s over now
You’re done wearing me out
You’re wearing me out [x6]
[Bridge]
You’ll be ancient history
But who am I right now?
My name is revenge and I’m here to save my
name
[Chorus]
You’re fuckin’ wearing me out!
You’re always dragging me down!
You’re the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don’t need a gun to take back what’s mine
(You’re fuckin’ wearing me out)
It’s over
(You’re always dragging me down)
It’s over
You’re the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don’t need a gun to take back what’s mine
It’s over
It’s over now
You’re done wearing me out

"Oblivion"
Time doesn't erase the demons you don't see still
dancin' in your dreams
Draggin' up all the ways, temptation is overgrown
looks like we're all alone
Truth is coming don't lie, so let me show you
Can't keep me here in the darkI'll set you off like a spark into oblivion, (into
oblivion)
Can't take me down to the boat
I'll turn you back into stone into oblivion
Rise wrath of the rage those spineless spirits bleed
the only half of me
Crawling out of my skin, shed every trace of you
just one last thing to do
Truth is coming don't lie, so let me show you
Can't keep me here in the dark
I'll set you off like a spark into oblivion, (into
oblivion)
Can't take me down to the boat
I'll turn you back into stone into oblivion
Can't keep me here in the dark
I'll set you off like a spark into oblivion
Ayo ayooaaa [x3]
So let me show youCan't keep me here in the dark
I'll set you off like a spark into oblivion, (into
oblivion)
Can't take me down to the boat
I'll turn you back into stone into oblivion
Can't keep me here in the dark
I'll set you off like a spark into oblivion, (into
oblivion)
Can't take me down to the boat
I'll turn you back into stone into oblivion

"Second Chance"
My eyes are open wide
And by the way,
I made it through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way,
I'm leaving out today
I just saw Halley's comet
She waved
Said, "Why you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid
Of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close,It's only for today
I just saw Halley's comet
She waved
Said, "Why you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my fatherI've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Here's my chance
This is my chance
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
[2x]
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

"Sin With A Grin"
Take a good look at agony
Force fed pass down
Time release
I'm inspired to find the liar
Black list X on the back
Of a soulfull man
I've got way's you understandLook left, look right, but I'm
Behind you
I never noticed, until I focused
On everything you did, you said,
You lit the fuse inside my head
[Chorus]
Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin
Hangman
Standing on a twisted 2x4
Built your house, but forgot
To lock the doorI'm inside with two black eyes
I have not one shred of sympathy
I have no use for apologies
I'm inspired to find the liar
I never noticed, until I focused
On everything you did, you said,
You lit the fuse inside my head
[Chorus]
Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick insideThank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin
Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me -
Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin

"Sound Of Madness"
Yeah, I get it,
You're an outcast.
Always under attack.
Always coming in last,
Bringing up the past.
No one owes you anything.
I think you need a shotgun blast,A kick in the ass,
So paranoid. . .
Watch your back!!
Oh my, here we go...
Another loose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower.
Quicksand's got no sense of humor.
I'm still laughing like hell.
You think that by crying to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine.
[Chorus:]
I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for
yourself?
I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality,
If there's an afterlife,
Then it'll set you free.
But I'm not gonna part the seas
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You think that crying to me,
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine.
[Chorus]
I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up...
When you gonna wake up and fight...
[Chorus]
When you gonna wake up and fight... for
yourself? [x3]

"The Crow And The Butterfly"
I painted your room at
Midnight, so I'd know
Yesterday was over
I put all your books on the top shelf,
Even the one with the four leaf clover
Man, I'm getting older
I took all your pictures off the walland wrapped them in a news paper blanket
I haven't slept in what seems like a century,
and now I can barely breathe
[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting high as outer space,
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
Your words still serenade me,
Your lullabies won't let me sleep
I've never heard such a haunting melody.
Oh, it's killing me
You know I can barely breathe
[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting high as outer space,I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting high as outer space,
I never thought you'd slip away -
Like a crow chasing the Butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting high as outer space,I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late
Just a little too late

"Through The Ghost"
[Verse 1]
Speak of the devil
Look who just walked into the room
The guilted and faded
Notion of someone I once knew
[Bridge] All the perfect moments are wrong
All the precious pieces are gone
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us
Did you hide yourself away?
I can't see you anymore
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul
Did you hide yourself away?
Are you living through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you like I do
[Verse 2]
So many silent sorrows
You never hear from again
And now that you've lost tomorrowIs yesterday still a friend?
[Bridge]
All the bridges we built were burned
Not a single lesson was learned
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us
Did you hide yourself away?
I can't see you anymoreDid you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul
Did you hide yourself away?
Are you living through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you like I do
Like I still do
Did you hide yourself away?
I can't see you anymore
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul
Did you hide yourself away?
Are you living through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you...

"Unity"
I found a note with your name
And a picture of us
Even though it was framed
And covered in dust
It’s the map in my mind that sends me on my way
They say it’s never too late To stop being afraid
And there is no one else here
So why should I wait?
And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
I’ve seen a million miles
Met a million faces
Took all I knew
To reach all these places
And I’d do it again
If it brings me back to you
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air

"What A Shame"
Two packs of cigarettes a day
The strongest whiskey
Kentucky can make
That's a recipe to put a vagabond
On his hands and knees
I watched it all up close,
I knew him more than mostI saw a side of him he never showed
Full of sympathy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be
That's the man he was,
Have you heard enough?
[Chorus]
What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame
There's a hard life for every silver spoon
There's a touch of grey for every shade
Of blue
That's the way that I see life
If there was nothing wrong,Then there'd be nothing right
And for this working man they say could
Barely stand
There's gotta be a better place to land
Some kind of remedy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be
That's the man he was,
Have you heard enough?
[Chorus] What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame
God forgive the hands that laid you down
They never knew how much a broken heart can
break the sound and change the season
Now the leaves are falling faster,
Happily ever after
You gave me hope through your endeavors
And now you will live forever
[Chorus]
What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame, what a shame
'Cause we're not all the same
What a shame, what a shame
'Cause we're not all the same
